In 2006, my daughter bet I couldn't eat a different chocolate each day for a year. I enjoyed that year so much that, after 12 years, I'm still eating a different chocolate each day. And, after 4,500+ chocolates, there are still many more to try. Thank you to all who continue to be part of this global adventure.

The Best Chocolate in Town - Almond Butter Date - April 7, 2017 (part 1)

Welcome to Day #6 of Chocolate and Indiana Theme Week, where I wandered around Indianapolis, IN, sampling more local chocolates. (See post number two for today for a bonus chocolate.)

One of the local Indiana chocolate vendors you'll see at this week's Indianapolis Chocolate Fest is The Best Chocolate in Town (Indianapolis, CA).

A friend (thank you Toni!) had brought back chocolates from this company to share after a trip she took a few years ago. So I knew I'd visit The Best Chocolate in Town during this week's Indianapolis trip.

I bought four chocolates in their shop on upper Massachusetts Avenue (aka Mass Ave if you're a local), and sampled three today.

Of the Cabernet Balsamic, Almond Butter Date and Vegan Pistachio Cherry chocolates, the Almond Butter Date was the hands-down favorite.

Biting into this chocolate yielded a burst concentrated date and nutty flavor and texture. A moist chewy date was stuffed with almond butter and enveloped in chocolate. It was full of rich natural sweetness, without being too sugary.
